He’s not coming as a Gordon alternative: This is the Bayern plan with Saibari | OneFootball

FC Bayern are on the verge of a transfer for Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven. Things are developing rapidly at the moment and it is now becoming clear what Bayern’s plans are for the midfielder

Initially it was said that the attacking player was possibly seen as an alternative to Anthony Gordon, the Englishman moved to FC Barcelona, Bayern had him on their list beforehand and were already largely in agreement with the player’s side

The point is, however, that the overall package offered by Barca was simply better. But back to Saibari. In the last few days, rumours have intensified that he would not come as an alternative to Gordon

And Florian Plettenberg confirmed this once again in the transfer update. According to this, Saibari is seen as a player who can fill several roles, but not as someone who can be used on the wing

Bayern and Saibari are already in agreement

Interesting: Leon Goretzka has left the club in the center, striker-back Nicolas Jackson has left and Raphael Guerreiro, who also helped out in the center, is also no longer there. Conversely, this means that Saibari can take on several roles at the same time. If he were to cover the 10 position, for example, Gnabry could act more as a striker-back

FC Bayern are certainly prepared as far as further developments in the Saibari poker are concerned, with the medical check set to take place in the USA as soon as an agreement is reached between the clubs

Bayern and PSV are in talks, but for the moment there is no final agreement. However, Fabrizio Romano, among others, recently reported that things are looking good and that the two negotiating parties are getting closer. Saibari is a player who is highly valued by Vincent Kompany in particular, who is said to have suggested the signing to Max Eberl on several occasions.
